Kelley has a knack for shepherding movie stars into TV shows: He recently led the Kathy Bates vehicle "Harry's Law," which was canceled after two seasons, and presided over "Boston Legal" with James Spader and William Shatner.

Williams won his best supporting actor Oscar for "Good Will Hunting."

News of the talks was first reported — simultaneously — by TV Guide, EW and Deadline.
